    Spicy Tuna Cucumber Cup Appetizers

    If you love spicy tuna rolls, then you are in for a real treat with these delicious low-carb appetizers. They are packed with flavor and are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.

    Cucumber cups are easy to make with a cucumber corer. It works perfectly and because of its shape, its so much easier to use than a knife.

    Note: this recipe calls for Kewpie mayonnaise, which is a creamy Japanese variety made with rice wine vinegar instead of regular distilled. It is available in most grocery stores, or you can order it online here. You can also substitute regular mayonnaise instead.

    Consider pairing this appetizer up with another one of our favorite appetizer recipes. Some that we recommend are our Gluten Free Shrimp Dip, Black Bean Salsa, and Brie and Dark Cherry Phyllo Bites.
